A deputy spotted a stolen SUV in southwest Lincoln. Deputies tried to stop the vehicle, but the SUV fled. The deputy reportedly did not pursue, as he was in an unmarked sheriff's car. Around 8 a.m., the same deputy saw the same SUV and called for backup. A pursuit began, and the driver fled west on I-80, got on the off-ramp to northwest 48th Street, lost control of the vehicle and flipped several times, ejecting all four occupants and killing Zayne Yost.
